He despises frozen corn, starts “a wild rumpus” in the living room, disguises himself as a wolf-man, and bites his mother when he doesn’t get his way. Meet Max – a wild young thing trying to escape a world he doesn’t fit in – to a world where bullies and igloo-haters are not allowed!
Maurice Sendak’s classic tale hits the big screen with much anticipation. “Where the Wild Things Are,” directed by Spike Jonze, takes us to an island where loveable, smurf-like creatures parade across sand dunes, forests and seas, far away from the human world.

Max (Max Records), is a troubled young boy who is invisible to his sister and ignored by his mom, who is love-struck over her new boyfriend. Seeking attention, Max decides to cause some mischief one night by putting on his wolf outfit, then howling, screaming and causing a ruckus. When he doesn’t get his way, he plots to run away from his mother and sister during the dead of the night. He runs away with tears rolling down his cheeks — to a place where he finds a boat waiting for its departure. He hops into it and sails for miles and miles away from his home through the storm and into the wild.

Upon his arrival, he bumps into hairy-looking Carol (James Gandolfini), who enjoys destroying forts. The other creatures become angered by his insensitivity and childishness. Max, eavesdropping, makes his debut appearance to the creatures by gnashing his teeth and showing his “wild side.”
